Where is the forum poster that promised he'd keeps stats on our W-L record when Eddy Curry goes for 20?

The Knicks have won the last six games when he has hit that mark.

They are 6-2 when Curry scores 25 or more points.

There is no longer any ambiguity in the game plan each night. Opponents are now forced to double-team Curry in the post, creating opportunities for everyone else. After initially struggling to adapt, Curry learned to make quicker passes and quicker moves. And he will be the greatest beneficiary when Richardson, the Knicks’ best 3-point shooter, returns Wednesday. - Howard Beck

“It’s a different game when teams have to double-team him,” Jamal Crawford said of Curry. “He gets the credit for changing the game for us.”

lol @ being BANNED by Martin since 11/07/10 (for asking if Mr. Earl had a point). Really, Martin? C'mon. This is the internet. I've seen much worse on this site. By Earl himself. Drop the hypocrisy.

Curry gives me two more rebounds and one more block a game and then people (myself included) will be forced to admit he is the TRUTH.

Wait wait wait... izybx we have to look at the stats but also at the whole package Eddy brings. The POINT is more than the sum of his points. As jamal said, Eddy is changing the game. He IS the offense. We have a system now and it revolves around Eddy.

So whether he averages 18-7 or 20-8... that isn't important today. That will come as he sees more double teams and learns to play off his teammates better.

As long as Eddy can (knock on wood) stay healthy, we have a horse we can ride for the next five years. Someone who can command a Free Agents attention when looking for where to go.

all Eddy has to do to average 20 ppg is make 2.5 more FT's a game... think about it... he's a low post monster right now & except for a couple missed shots from the FT line, he'd easily be putting up 20 a night, & he's still getting better! the main thing he'll need to improve on is his defense & shotblocking... that's gonna take a couple years i'd imagine since he's not a natural instinctual player in either aspect... i'm willing to be patient though as long as he keeps showing improvement on his offensive game.

does it bother anyone that Eddy doesnt play bad defense, rather he play no defense? Do we just give him a pass and be happy his pumping up his stats?

It's ironic that Marbury never got a pass for that by the same people giving Curry a pass for it.

Eddy will be at 20 ppg by the end of the season, easy. The only reason he isn't there now is because he started the season off as eddy curry. Now he's Eddy Curry.

What I want from Eddy is more Deke-like presence in the paint. He really is a bad rebounder, but his shotblocking is technically very good, he just doesn't go after them (both rebounds and blocks) with any venom or real passion. Watch KG and Howard blocking a shot, the guy getting blocked doesn't forget it for a while after watching his shot hit row Z.

To be honest, I wouldn't mind if Eddy spends more energy on the defensive end, even if his offense suffers. Having that huge body swatting layups into the rafters intimidates drivers in the lane and also fires up your own team.

Lee or Malik should really be working with Curry to help his boxing out.

Overall, I'm really impressed with his advancement this year, and for the first time, I have hopes that he can improve the other aspects of his game. Keep it up Big Fella!

if i EVER thought Marbury would be the guy to build this team around for the future, i'd probably have been a bit more forgiving of Marbury's lack of defense too... i can always rely on you for a good snit though.
